Show Notes
Amanda McGough has spent more than two decades helping people navigate their most challenging moments, from suicide prevention to life transitions. As a licensed psychologist, she’s seen firsthand how overwhelming struggles can affect mental health, but she’s equally passionate about the power of conversation and connection in healing.
On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, McGough talks with host Steve Dunn about how to know when to seek professional help and the critical role of openness in addressing issues like mental health and suicide — issues that have historically been shrouded in silence.
McGough, who holds a Ph.D. in psychology, also discusses bereavement and her work with families who have experienced loss.
